The accident occurred when lift doors opened but the lift car was absent. He sustained multiple vertebral fractures and a shoulder injury requiring a six-hour surgical operation to reduce fractures and implant a shoulder plate. Pavan is currently in serious but not life-threatening condition and was forced to withdraw from the South African Open Championship at Stellenbosch Golf Club.
